Trae Young: Max Contract Superstar

2018 feels like only a few years ago.

Hard to believe we're literally more than halfway through the 'Trae Young Experience'.

Do you want Trae to lead the team in field goal attempts per game? If not, what option should he be?

Do you want Trae to lead the team in field goal attempts per game? If not, what option should he be?

I don't see the FGA issue as simply as this.

1. We have a very well-crafted offense based on generating open shots, not isolation
2. No one else on the team beyond Trae can create their own shot when that offense breaks down
3. Half-court shot attempts and fastbreak opportunities are very different
For half court/set offense, the players on the court and the opposing defense really dictate who shoots the ball on a given possession.
Fastbreak opportunities are more erratic and unpredictable -- even if they tend to involve the same players or positions


All that to say:

• Jalen and Dyson should get the bulk of transition buckets
• Trae and Kristaps should get the bulk of the 3-pt shot attempts
• Kristaps, Kennard and Zacch should see most of the Catch & Shoot Opportunities
  Zacch from the corner; Porzingis from above the break
• Zacch, Okongwu and Jalen should see most of the attempts in the restricted area
• Okongwu, Dyson and Trae should see most of the mid-range attempts
